Recently started reading The Rebels Clinic about Frantz Fanon. Very good so far. Prompted me to buy Aime Cesaire's Notebook of a Return to my Native Land. After a very long time, ordered Black Skin, White Mask from Afrori books in Brighton.

Just finished Selma 1965 and starting Consumed by Aja Barber. Many more books waiting in the wings including Zora Neale Hurston's autobiography,Going to meet the Man by Baldwin and A Taste of Power by Elaine Brown.

Fantastic online black bookshop in London. https://jacarandabooks.co.uk/

The Black Anti Fascist Tradition. An excellent read so far.

The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon. Introduction by Cornel West.

Very recent purchase, The Gospel according to James Baldwin. Wasn't aware of this book but thanks to AALBC....... 👍

The biography of Darkus Howe,Renegade. Pretty good,I must say.

Just started watching this on Netflix. Interesting to say the least.

Reading a biography on Lorraine Hansberry. Pretty good so far. Finally ordered Race Matters by Cornel West. Finally.

In 48, after the establishment of Israel, the Nakba occurred . It wasn't enough for the Zionists. No, more land was required and at the expense of the Palestinians. At least 400 villages were destroyed. And the 'locals', the settlers are still not happy today. Yes,Gaza was given back but it's the biggest open air prison in the world.

Pretty basic videos I suppose but they certainly do something for ME Sorry,you will have to click on the links to view the videos. Forgot how to post properly,if you know what I mean.

It's certainly a very good read, that's for sure. Have you read Princess Noir? My copy came a few days ago but I haven't started it yet.

Watched a profile on Faith recently on the BBC. Haven't heard of her before but was a fascinating documentary. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0006wh6/imagine-2019-faith-ringgold-tell-it-like-it-is

Quite possibly,Nina Simones finest live album, Black Gold. Unbelievably good.
